Power Scythe

[Brother Chaplain Tempusius]

You think maybe the power scythe could be a new weapon for later seasons? I love the fact that 40k has a weapon like that. So far to my knowledge only Mortarian has been seen using such a weapon.

You kinda answered to the question yourself. If only primarch used such weapon 10.000 years ago. Why and how would we use it?

So not any other marines use a power scythe at all?

Am not all knowing in lore, some variation probably exists, but we would probably get more iconic chainaxe before we get scythe

I see, i can live with that, the chainaxe is a favorite for space wolves and world eaters last i checked, imagine the chainaxe is the new weapon for the space wolves cosmetics

The power scythe has been used by the Ultramarine Successors 'Scythes' Of The Emperor in at least one novel by Laurie Golding, so they are around. Death Guard Heretic Astartes use them as well.

We will see, with official mod support we can get a lot of niche additions

Yeah but i don't mod games that feature online play, that's my oath

Devs will block you online while using mods after 5.0 patch, so as long as you play private it's approved

It doesn't matter to me, i'm just not doing any modding for an online game.

Pest Scythes are a thing for chaos, but the weapon is a small niche. I think they won’t add a other melee weapon. It’s to much work to make all the animations.

Strange but respectable

Just did more reading on the power scythe, apparently it was discontinued after the 34th millennium. Which means they're not found in space marine 2s current time.

Yeah i know, but again some variation probably exists. I just don't see it being added before chainaxe or poweraxe

I see, noted. There's also the relic blade which is also a good choice. Based on its lore it can be either a greatsword greatmace or greataxe.

Roadmap have "new weapons"

It's fair to expect some melee options in future, but it's a looooooong way away. For now we keep vigilant and drown enemies of humanity in blood

Emperor protects, brother
